    I heard that we are not allowed to use scrap papers during any ACCA exam. Is it true?
    How can we manage to plan answers if we are not able to write down our idea?

    Yes, you are not allowed scrap papers in ACCA exams.

    Most students write on their question papers in the 15 min RAP time at the start of the exam, and if need be, they copy the plan on their answer booklets.

    After the RAP, why would you need a scrap paper when you can write on the answer booklet? Never cross out your plan and always head it “plan”

    Personally, I would read through each line in the question and whatever sprang to my head, I would bullet point it, even if it’s irrelevant. You can debate whether to include that in your final answer when you’re drafting one.

    Best of luck!
